here's me, wondering how they have still customers consuming their 'product'
Same. I stopped going to McDonald's 2 years ago for several reasons:
Their "food" got way too expensive for the shit quality that it is,
You won't catch me dead with a fucking fast food app on my phone, and
the final straw was their tacit endorsement of Donald Trump when they refused to reprimand the franchise owner that pulled that stupid stunt in Pennsylvania.
I hadn’t gone to a fast food place in years and figured fuck it, on my way to a morning meeting one day where I had to leave a lot earlier than normal. I got a breakfast meal with a small coffee. That shit fucked with my insides so much it convinced me I’m just never going to eat fast food again. With how much prices have increased at fast food places these days you can go to a sit down restaurant and not spend all that much more. Wild world we live in.
Mcdonalds pancakes for 4$ are the only thing I still get every once and awhile when I don't want to cook for the kid but that's it..
I get the not wanting to cook part but pancakes are sooooo easy
I know, right? It's so expensive, you can get good food from a decent takeaway for that price.
Edit - plus, it gives me the shits.
It's fast, convenient, and tastes pretty good. After feeding the goats in the morning i swing by McDonald's with my kids and we get the hotcakes. They are happy and I'm happy.
Went there for the first time in years a week or two ago, got the chicken sandwich. It's was fucking disgusting.
You disgust me /s sorta
I totally get this and it's the reason I get fast food with my kids sometimes. But McDonald's? I haven't had a meal I could finish from McDonald's in like twenty years. It just gets worse and worse every year.
I finished a meal pre-COVID It immediately came back up.
Never again.
I taught my kid how to microwave scrambled eggs as soon as reasonable, or he slaps together a pb and j, or he eats leftover chicken, whatever..
your goats probably eating better than your kids. its, just, so lazy, not just in motion but intellectually. not nice to say but christ
Monday through Friday we eat costco salmon, chicken, broccoli, steaks, eggs, ect. It's all keto and we have normal bmi weights.
Most Americans are fat, and you think Sunday morning hotcakes are lower than goat food is crazy.
You fat?
Not from supporting national corporate oppression trough food, no.
Arnt hotcakes just pancakes? None of us really like pancakes anyway, but theyre dumb easy to make without serving your hard earned money to corpo slop.
Do you my dude. Fuck it matter to me you have a mcdonalds tradition? I was just being a cunt because im overwhelmed with the number of folks cool with making rich people richer at the detriment of everything else. Im sure the big wigs at mcdonalds are greatful for your patronage and support word of mouth promoting .50 cent hotcakes served to you right to your car window at premium! Why not find a local place or diner and go there instead? Why not go less? Why ethically, it is okay to support companies who are opressive to labor, health, and humanity just because it is convenient? Why create little consumers of your children who will find nostolgia in them fucking arches?
Idk, do you boo boo, fully addmitting to being an ass here, no further actions required.
Superfast Jellyfish
It's ok I'm an ass sometimes too. I wouldn't go to a dinner smelling like goat shit personally, so drive though works perfect.
But as far as dinners go our downtown has amazing local brunch and lunch locations. We go there Saturday but we didn't go out Monday -Friday. The wife cooks during the weekdays.
My daughter loves a place called harvest moon and we get the crab sandwich and biscuits and gravy and split it.
Also it's cheap if you use their stupid app, depending on what you get. When I'm trying to pinch pennies but don't have time for anything else, it comes in handy.
Their app really is stupid though
Yup, i get 6 hotcakes for $6 bucks on the app.
